The partnership aims to create a circular model for EV batteries
DHL Global Forwarding and EnviroServe, the largest e-waste recycling company in the Middle East & Africa (MEA) region, have jointly announced their collaboration to revolutionize electric vehicle (EV) battery recycling solutions.
This groundbreaking partnership aims to establish a circular economy model for EV batteries, maximizing resource efficiency and minimizing waste generation. Danzas AEI Emirates, the joint venture between DHL Global Forwarding and Al Tayer Group, will take the lead on this partnership, a press communique stated.
“With DHL’s extensive expertise in supply chain and EnviroServe’s specialization in EV battery recycling, we look forward to making a positive impact and shaping a cleaner, more sustainable future in the EV industry by creating a circular economy model,” asserted Amadou Diallo, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding, MEA.
Maximizing resource efficiency
The combined expertise of both companies will maximize resource efficiency and minimize the environmental impact associated with EV battery waste. As the region’s first-ever EV and battery logistics hub, DHL EV Centre of Excellence will help enable the circular flow of EV batteries, in collecting used products for recovery, linking markets, and providing transparency across the circular value chain.
EnviroServe’s experience in EV battery recycling will employ advanced processes to extract valuable materials from spent EV batteries, such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other rare earth metals, which can then be reused as raw materials in future production cycles. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in achieving a greener and more sustainable future for the electric vehicle industry in MEA.
“The regional market has been seeking solutions to compliant EV Battery disposal treatment, and this partnership with DHL provides the secure chain of custody for end-of-life EV batteries,” commented Stuart Fleming, Managing Partner, EnviroServe.
